Toni Kroos has revealed that he was absolutely "convinced" to join David Moyes ' Manchester United before his transfer infamously collapsed.
The German midfield maestro and his partner, Jessica, were all set to make the move to Manchester in the summer of 2014, only for Moyes to be sacked shortly after negations regarding a transfer from Bayern Munich had taken place. Kroos had recently established himself as one of world football's finest midfielders, having won the Champions League the season prior.
United, meanwhile, were enduring a disastrous first campaign under Moyes, who had the task of picking up Sir Alex Ferguson 's legacy. The former Everton boss was determined to turn things around, though, setting his sights on the current Real Madrid star after infamously missing out on Thiago Alcantara at the beginning of the term.
